Reads and sends a mail message from the specified local file in MIME format.

      Syntax

      public void Send(
         string fileName
      )

      Parameters

      fileName
      The path to the mail message file.

      Remarks

      The file must be in MIME format, other formats are not supported. MIME files often have the '.eml' extension and are produced by Outlook Express. In contrast, Outlook produces '.msg' files that are not MIME files and therefore cannot be sent using this method.

      Both sender and the list of recipients are extracted from the message. The sender address is taken from the "Sender" header field, or from the first address in the "From" field if the "Sender" is missing. The list of recipients comes from "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" header fields. Also, the "Bcc" field is removed from message headers prior to sending.

      Set the AllowNullSender property to allow sending a mail without a sender specified.
